Cross the threshold as you let grief guide the way to a truer you

A 6-month, 1:1 coaching journey for those ready to step through the threshold grief has opened — and into a truer you, and a more deeply lived life.

Grief is seismic, earth-shattering change thrust upon you. In a lightning-bolt instant, your world looks alien, and who you are now feels completely different to who you were before.

But grief can also sharpen your focus on what really matters. It presents a door of transformation, an invitation to step over the threshold of grief into a new way of being.

Where you gently step into conscious relationship with your grief, and chart a new path that is truer to the inner compass of values that drives you.

The Threshold is for heart-led, high-achieving humans ready to break free from the conditioning that forces us to resist, bypass and avoid the tough stuff, like grief. If you’re ready to deepen into what life truly is, and understand how you can thrive with grief a part of you.

Are you ready to walk this threshold together?

 

Tell me if this sounds like you...

  • Confused and stressed by this thing called grief, that none of us were taught about — worried about its potential to derail you.

  • Grief has hit and turned your life upside down, its lightning bolt shining a spotlight on uncomfortable truths: things need to change. It could be in career, relationships, lifestyle, passions...

  • Shaken as to who you are now, with grief making you question your identity, values, and what you're prioritising in this one sacred life.

  • You're doubting your ability to navigate the tough stuff — avoiding grief, plus difficult decisions, conversations and boundaries you know you need.

 
 

Picture yourself crossing the threshold

Imagine a life where you've stopped running from grief and instead embraced it as part of you - understanding its meaning, and the beautiful meaning and growth that can bloom through it.

Imagine taking the whispers from your heart, and the lightning-bolt clarity grief brings about what is and isn't working, and turning them into your reality.

Imagine listening, finally, to the big, bold idea you've always wanted to make happen - using your grief and a new depth of self-belief as the catalyst.

Imagine feeling confident riding the waves of grief and everything life brings, with a toolkit built to support and self-coach yourself through them.

Imagine deepening your connection to your body and intuition. Tapping into inner wisdom that had been drowned out to guide your forwards path.

 
 
 
 

You don’t have to walk this threshold alone

When grief hits, it can feel violent — a force that shatters your world as you knew it, knocking you off your feet.

We live in a world that is death and grief avoidant. Conditioned since childhood to bristle at and resist these deeply human, universal experiences that nobody can run from. But resisting and avoiding grief only does us harm. When we numb it, it doesn't disappear, it gets pushed into the shadows, pulling strings behind the scenes.

I know this so well, I was this person for my first 35 years. As soon as I gave myself permission to grieve, it turned the volume up on joy, meaning, presence, and what it is to feel fully alive.

We aren’t meant to journey alone

I know that crossing these thresholds of grief and major life transitions can be hard, complicated and needs careful holding.

That's the spirit I bring into my work as a double-certified (AC, IPHM and ACCPH), trauma-informed Grief, Life and Leadership Coach - with additional training as an End of Life Doula and Nature Connection Coach.

Ultimately at the heart of my work is me sitting by your side, as a coach and bereaved mother, who went through the death of her daughter, an earlier miscarriage and the death of her 3 grandparents in just 4 years.

With our sessions your sacred space in a chaotic life, and my high touch support in between.

 
 

 
 

Our transformational journey

Every Threshold journey is curated to fit your uniqueness. Grief and life don't move in a linear, cookie-cutter way, and neither will we. But here's a path we might walk together…

Finding your steady roots

We start here: building real safety and stability within. Finding an actual, felt sense of "I can hold this." We deepen your connection with your body, and create a personalised toolkit of micro practices to soothe and support you on any difficult day, and build your capacity to find presence with grief.

Rooted and free

Grief doesn't just take someone from you — it can also take the old version of you “before”. But it also presents an opportunity to walk through this threshold into a truer version of yourself. Here we start really listening to your grief, and the parts of you that have been ignored.

Unearth your inner compass

As we deepen, here is where your personal values get named, with the help of nature, ritual, presence, and me as your mirror. Explored through a three-part ritual: inward journalling, an hour walking in nature, and a coaching immersion to write your values like a storyteller.

Walking the path

A vision without a plan is just a nice picture. Here, we turn the clarity that you have unearthed into decisions, strategies, actions, boundaries and forwards motion — with me right alongside you every step of the way.

Stride forwards with self-mastery

Everything in this life must at some point come to its end. As we near completion, our focus shifts to your self-mastery — celebrating the thresholds you've crossed, and setting your personalised game plan and toolkit to stride forwards and self-coach without needing me.


Here's what's included

  • 12 x bi-weekly, 90-minute 1:1 coaching sessions.

  • High-touch coaching support via WhatsApp or email between sessions.

  • Access to any blend of organic coaching sessions and focused workshops — including my signature Rooted & Free identity and visioning workshop, and Unearth Your Inner Compass, in co-creation with nature.

  • The option to upgrade one session to an extended, in-person nature coaching workshop in Epping Forest, or an online equivalent if you don’t live near London.

“A total game changer for me in terms of my journey with grief and loss, and I cannot recommend Tanya highly enough.  

Tanya held the space sensitively and was beautifully attuned to my responses and emotions. I felt safely guided to go inwards and breathe into my experiences. 

She has such a calm and compassionate presence. Holding space so beautifully for me. It was the most meaningful one to one grief support I’ve experienced since my partner’s and grandmother’s deaths.

My heart feeling safe enough to open to the grief I’ve been carrying for so many years.”

Your coach, mentor and guide

Hey, I'm Tanya,

An AC, IPHM and ACCPH double certified Grief, Life & Leadership Coach, End of Life Doula, and bereaved mother who has walked through five profound losses in four years, including the death of my darling daughter, Ngākau Raiona (lioness heart), at 21 weeks into pregnancy.

I spent 14 years in global marketing leadership, including the shiny role as a global Head of Marketing for Formula 1 — before grief asked me a question I could no longer ignore. Am I living my dream, or someone else’s?

It wasn't strength that got me through my grief. Strength is a brittle label we give grievers who feel anything but. What got me through was lioness hearted courage — the courage to stop bypassing the hardest, most human parts of being alive. To cross the threshold into feeling them, and letting them teach me instead.

I've held that threshold with elite professional athletes, musicians, editors-in-chief, CEO’s, C-suite leaders and entrepreneurs. I bring two decades of strategic and leadership experience working in iconic brands (F1, Sony Music, Universal Music, Virgin Media) and for high profile talent (Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris and Kesha), and five years of coaching.

Creating spaces where the goal is to help you curate a life that you can thrive in — grief and all!
